Filmed in IMAX 3D, this documentary captures the unique and intimate connections that developed between two scientists and two species -- orangutans and elephants -- as the men worked to save the orphaned beasts and return them to the wild.

A great article about being torn about Christmas, this lady has been on quite a journey…

TORN ABOUT CHRISTMAS -- http://heartofwisdom.com/blog/torn-over-christmas/

I am also torn about Christmas and I struggle with it every time the season comes around again.  One of these times I may feel peace about it, I sure hope I do, I hate the angst and the feeling of being a fish of water every year. 

I was recently told of an African tribe that does the most beautiful thing.

 
When someone does something hurtful and wrong, they take the person to the center of town, and the entire tribe comes and surrounds him. For two days they’ll tell the man every good thing he has ever done.
The tribe believes that every human being comes into the world as GOOD, each of us desiring safety, love, peace, happiness.

But sometimes in the pursuit of those things people make mistakes. The community sees misdeeds as a cry for help.

They band together for the sake of their fellow man to hold him up, to reconnect him with his true Nature, to remind him who he really is, until he fully remembers the truth from which he'd temporarily been disconnected: "I AM GOOD".
